So, I ended up getting way more posts here than I had initially expected - and you guys are right, I didn't know about the 30 posts rule, though I certainly do now. Aoi Magi asked how old I am, the answer is 25 - I'm curious, of all the questions to ask, why that one?
Regarding what Brian37 said - it's clear you have a lot of animosity toward the Christian community. I'm so sorry for whatever you went through, and I'm not disillusioned that there are Christians who are like that: it breaks my heart that this happened to you and happens to people like you around the world. It's something I want to try and help change, even if you don't agree in the way which I want to change it. Ignoring your comments about the age of the earth and all (because I do not consider myself a flat- or young-earther), I want to address your questions on the evidence. I will say that there actually is significant evidence for the events of the New Testament, and that the Old Testament has a lot of prophecies that were fulfilled, sometimes really specifically, between two (in the case of the fall of Nineveh) to several hundred (in the case of the 30 pieces of silver that Jesus was sold for, the fall of Tyre by Alexander the Great) years later that were very specific. Scientific prophecies, including the water cycle and isostasy, were also mentioned in the Bible hundreds of years before they were discovered, so I would encourage you do some of your own research in this area and really discover just how deep this rabbit hole goes. I wish more Christians would know about and promote some of this stuff, because it is FASCINATING, and people not knowing about it really makes it seem, like you said, that the Bible doesn't have any evidence behind it, when in fact the opposite is true.
